 Should the London Fire Brigade’s catering have more plant-based options? 

Can sustainable food be required in every Free School Meal?  

How vegan-friendly is City Hall’s procurement chain?   

To jumpstart the Mayor of London’s plant-based policies and celebrate Veganuary, Zack Polanski, Green Party Londonwide Assembly Member, brought together environmental campaigners, animal welfare advocates, procurement advisors, policy officers, and food science academics for a night of networking and brainstorming.  

Zack’s event was co-hosted by Viva!, the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity.  

Following the event, Zack will now compile and consolidate ideas shared at the event and present a core set of plant-based proposals to London’s Mayor.  

Reflecting on the night’s success, Green Party London Assembly Member Zack Polanski said: 

“Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Veganuary! People coming together with a plan for how to make our city better and kinder – It really felt like London and democracy at it’s very best.  

“I look forward to taking some of these incredible ideas to the Mayor next month, and continuing to push for a more animal friendly, sustainable London.”
